Brian Fallon – Goodnight Irene chords
Chords:
Goodnight, Irene by Brian Fallon (Appears on Chuck Ragan's Revival Tour 2011 Collections) [Brian Fallon, singer/songwriter for Gaslight Anthem, The Horrible Crowes, etc. Toured with Chuck on Revival Tour 2011, where I watched them play this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUDyhFq3CDg. Brian's Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Fallon; link to the Revival Tour: www.therevivaltour.com. Hope that's enough to get Brian as a separate artist in here.] Easy chords, but fast changes. Not too sure about the bridge lyrics ("abandoned her hand", "were eyes declaring war", etc.). Help me get it right. Thanks. yash.holbrook@gmail.com Brian plays this live with capo on 2, but these chords fit perfectly. Tuning: Standard Intro: Am E F G x1 [G] Darlin' it's so [Am] dark In this [E] house 'Cept for this [F] light My slow candle [G] burning And I know you're [Am] somewhere I always did [E] feel it I got a [F] new song You might never [G] hear Chorus: Goodnight, [C] Irene I got your [Am] trouble I read your [F] letters You sent like a [G] bomb And when you're [C] gone We're all gonna [Am] miss you Your perfume like [F] cigarettes and the sea My name that you [G] always wore like grief Goodnight, [C] Irene I grew up kind of [Am] lonesome The saint of the [E] sinners The voice of the [F] dogs You find in the [G] rain So I just keep [Am] working I just keep [E] driving Nobody writes [F] The blues [G] anymore [Chorus] And in my [G] mind There's a [C] dream Where the [F] telephone [C] rang Just [G] before the [C] ring Took a [F] vow and [Am] abandoned her [C] hand In a [G] closet where [C] white dresses [F] hang Were [Am] eyes declaring [G] war [Chorus]
